Does anyone know how to remove/bypass this on a manual trans. car?

certain aftermarket tuners will solve the problem. bamachips uses the xcalibratior2 tuner and you can remove the limiter or set it to any of the different options.

What is a speed limiter? I just bought a 2000 ZX2 S/R, and noticed this post. Is it like a rev limiter, andor why would it be removed?

Thanks!

A speed limiter is exactly what it sounds like. Most, if not all, ZX2s are limited to 106mph. The car obviously has the potential to go faster than that, but manufacturers set these limiters to whatever value they see fit for various safety reasons. It is an electronic device that cuts the fuel flow to the engine when it reaches the set speed. Your SR may not have one or it may be set higher, I don't know, but a ZX2 probably has the potential to reach 130mph. And most of us ZX2 owners would love to override the limiter if possible.


P.S. Congrats on the purchase of such a cool car.....

P.S.S. Also, I don't beleive ZX2s have rev limiters....
